Support LGBTQ filmmakers in Russia

UPDATE: THANKS TO ALL WHO DONATED, WE SURPASSED OUR GOAL!!!

In the Fall of 2013 a Russian documentary filmmaker contacted numerous LGBTQ activists and filmmakers from Canada and the United States with whom they had worked with in previous years to screen their films. The message they sent was a request to help fund a film that they believe desperately needs to be made: a documentary by Russian LGBTQ identified people about the impact of the recent anti-gay propaganda law on LGBTQ identified young people. They reached out to us because this film will be impossible to make without the financial support from the international LGBTQ community since funding for such a project is not only impossible, but illegal within the Russian federation. So it is on behalf of our Russian colleague and their co-director that we are asking for your trust and support to help fund this vital project title Children 404.
